</div></div>Can you misuse the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG property? Should work, IMHO.</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I can try it as a hack/workaround, but I would prefer to use the "right tool for the job". Perhaps this would make a good feature request. I definitely need this to work for Visual Studio, so I can't assume the build configuration is known at generation time in CMake. </div>

It places everything in my preprocessor definitions field, not actually on the command line.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm going to desperately need configuration-aware COMPILE_FLAGS, because in Visual Studio, I have cache variables that enable certain features, like edit & continue, minimal rebuild, etc... features that are not compatible with /O2 (optimizations on). Since CMake has no choice but to enable these MSVC features in all configurations, my release builds don't work, and the user will be required to disable these features via cache variable every time they want to build release, which is unnecessary.</div>
